Medical debt, and its abolishment, is confusing. Here, I try to break it down. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you Clay! 🧡

when I started making music I dreamed of nobody even knowing what I looked like unless they'd seen me play live. I didn't put a single picture of myself on a record for 25 years. I hold the tyranny of the visual to be a general plague and the imperative to be seen in motion lest one vanish a loss

The office tonight!

One of the most rewarding parts of higher education, for me, was building cross-generational relationships. My favorite class had myself, a couple 20- and 30- year olds, and two 70+ gentlemen enabled by this program.

Every day I wake up to a cold world knowing that Stancil woke up earlier and more eager to fight 900 cops than I do to drink a cup of coffee and login to Teams

Thanks so much for the shout, Clay! 🧡

A badge of honor it should be

I'm in this photo, and I don't like it.

Thank you! And YES, the health department and Mercy Health folks are hard at work. All around, eKy's harm reduction efforts are so encouraging to see.

Woah, that's my story! Thank you!

Thank you, Clay!

This work is best done when placed in an ecosystem. Communities are seeing results with preventative and harm-reduction programs in tandem.

As a Pike Co. student, I see the SNAP delays, and I see our people suffer | Opinion OpEd: As a high school student, I see the struggles of our mountain communities, already hurt by floods, now suffering under SNAP delays.

Lottie, a 15yo in Pike County, KY, writes for @kentucky.com about the impact of SNAP delays in her community, which is still recovering from flooding. Cars line up hours before the church where she volunteers begins giving out food: "I see this line growing longer and longer month after month..."

A poster on a corkboard with other posters. It’s brown and sepia, with text over a photo of the band sitting in a radio studio (WMKY). Clay and Anabel sit as if working, looking up from their papers and microphones at Violet. Violet sits on the central desk and plays her fiddle. The text reads: VIOLET AND THE NEWSROOM - COUNTRY & FOLK COVERS - OLD TIME FIDDLE TUNES - ORIGINAL MUSIC - NOV 09 4-6 PM - KENTUCKY COFFEETREE CAFE - 235 WEST BROADWAY STREET, FRANKFORT, KY 40601 - NO COVER, RECORDING LIVE

Business cards on a business card corkboard. A hand (Clay’s) holds a card reading “VIOLET AND THE NEWSROOM” in white over a monochromatic green background of violet flowers. The reverse side (pinned to the corkboard behind his hand) reads “VIOLET & THE NEWSROOM - VIOLET - ANABEL - CLAY - ACOUSTIC FOLK STRING BAND - KY, USA - newsroom.band” there is also a QR code that leads to the same website. Handwritten on the card is: “BOOK US FOR YOUR PARTY, WEDDING, BACKGROUND TUNES”

What are you doing November 9th? We’ll be (god willing!) recording a live show with a focus on originals and old-time faves. No cover, just pop in and grab a drink at the Kentucky Coffeetree Cafe in Frankfort between 4 and 6!

Thank you Clay! 🥺
